Crack on the fish tank upper and lower plastic ring
l had a new 20G all-glass fish tank for 2 months now. Recently l notice a
thin line of crack on both the upper and lower black plastic ring. l am
concerned if this will affect the stability of the glass. My assumption is
that these 1'' plastic rectangle ring is what holds the glass of the tank
together. Can you tell me if l should be concerned?
The silicone is what holds the tank together. If you look at
where the glass edges join together you can see the seam of rubbery stuff
on the inside. That is silicone. The black plastic around the top is just
extra support & designed to give you a place to securely seat the
hood/lighting. I would just super glue the crack as ilogikal suggested &
you should be fine. You want to leave the black plastic on for the extra
support - I would not remove it - but the tank should be fine because the silicone is what is actually holding the tank together.
there should be silicone holding the glass n the plastic is
just extra support and the look of the tank!!
2 months. id go back to where i bought it just in-case its serious and
ask>>>
even if it not serious i wud want a new tank 2 replace it if its only 2
months and cracking 4 no reason!!!!
hope i helped!!!!
i have had tanks with small cracks in the black plastic rings,
i usually stick a bit of super glue in it and forget about it, never had a
tank fall apart or leak because of it!
possibly.I'd put the fish in another bowl.just for safety sake
